Calculation process of conversion value

1 line = (exactly) `((254/120000)) / ((254/720000))` = 6 point (PostScript)
1 point (PostScript) = (exactly) `((254/720000)) / ((254/120000))` = 0.16666666666667 line
? line × `((254/120000) ("m"/"line")) / ((254/720000) ("m"/"point (PostScript)"))` = ? point (PostScript)
